ontemporary, award-winning greeting card company Cinnamon Aitch is launching a plethora of loveliness this January. Directors Sara Burford and Sarah Fitzpatrick say they are excited to have two new card ranges, which both sit happily alongside coordinating eco soaps and lip balms, with one range now spilling into soy wax candles, a new addition to the company’s gift portfolio.
Floral range Bloom is a colourful, floral crop of 10 greeting card designs, focusing on female relations and bursting with colour and pattern. It may be a small range but it’s perfectly formed and packs a punch alongside its co-ordinating range of gifts, soaps, lip balms and now, lovely handmade soy wax candles. With 12 in the range, each candle contains 70g of fragranced, sustainably sourced soy wax, boxed in complementary packaging, tied with jute, and hand-finished with a recycled tag and bespoke wooden flower: all carefully made entirely in the UK, with love.
Strong imagery ‘She’ is another new range of 10 cards; graphic, bold and fun, celebrating strong, bespectacled

women of varying ages and colour. Strong in imagery, colour and sentiment, the She range also translates into soaps and lip balms, extending the story. Cinnamon Aitch strives to produce beautiful, contemporary gifts that resonate with today’s consumer. Always with the planet in mind, the company’s eco soaps have proved a success story in their own right. With no palm oil, plastics, or harsh chemicals, the handmade soap bars are carefully considered from ingredients to packaging with the environment in mind. Pretty paper wraps and eco finishing touches ensure the products are a gorgeous gift for the most planet-aware customer.
With men in mind The successful Cobalt range sees new additions this year. Designed with men in mind, this contemporary range, abundant with texture, takes a restrained colour palette combined with modern imagery to produce a showstopper of a collection. All printed on 350g heavyweight FSC board, and punctuated with flashes of copper foil, the range continues to grow in strength and numbers. New additions feature on-trend pursuits including wild swimming and skateboarding. The Margo range sees 37 new designs with
more mischievous cats and dogs, now escaped from the confines of their living rooms and running riot on balloon-adorned scooters! This popular, fun-loving range now extends into ages.
Vibrant colour Building on the strength of additions last September, the popular Gypsy range continues to enjoy its splashes of vibrant colour with more collaged imagery. Each card is carefully die cut, foiled and embossed in the UK. There are 33 new designs to bring a burst of spring onto your shelves! All the cards and gifts are made entirely in the UK. Cards are all printed on FSC board and supplied with a recycled envelope. Due to the handmade nature of some of the ranges, cards are still supplied in a recyclable cello, but if requested, can be supplied naked or with a clasp. Now in its 27th year, Cinnamon Aitch, run by a small, friendly and efficient team in a Birmingham studio, continues to extend its contemporary, design-led story through gorgeous card and gift products, carefully made in the UK to the quality that the company has acquired an enviable reputation for.
